I. Introduction

This report summarizes findings from an assessment of transportation and land use conditions in South Hillsborough County. The purpose of this study is to identify baseline conditions for the development of an integrated mobility strategy for South County. The study area is generally bounded by the Alafia River to the north, Tampa Bay to the west, and the Urban Service Area (USA) to the south and east, including those land uses categorized as Residential Planned-2 (RP- 2). It includes seven community plans that contain the unincorporated communities of Gibsonton, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Ruskin, Sun City Center, Wimauma, and Balm (Figure 1).
